Father of five Brendan Walsh (50) died in tragic circumstances shortly after blaze at house in Killeagh

Go Games aren’t woke nonsense or a sign society has gone soft - they are one of the best things about the GAA

It says “the trauma of the family home being destroyed and of essentially being homeless” badly affected the mental health of Brendan Walsh, the father of the family. Mr Walsh had been a carpenter, but was left without work following the economic crash. He changed careers and became a carer and was a frontline worker during the Covid-19 pandemic.

His son, Barry , has played for the Cork minor team this year and his other children – Chloe, Andrea, Pádraig and Seán – have also played for the club.
